    Matching cells within two spreadsheets, return value from a different cell to another shet

    I need help with one more thing

    I have a spreadsheet with two tabs of information. what I want to do is match cell C2 in my first spreadsheet with sheet 2 cell AD10, they have corresponding numbers. from this point the second spreadsheet column AD10 that value equals the text in cell D10. Cell D10's information is what I need, then place that text in sheet 1 cell D2.

    PLEASE HELP

    Re: Matching cells within two spreadsheets, return value from a different cell to another

    Take a look at using the VLOOKUP() function for this. The syntax is...
    =VLOOKUP(what-you-want-to-find,range-to-search-in,column-that-contains-the-match,FALSE) FALSE is for finding an exact match
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Ford,

    Thank you for your response and help.

    Only one thing. After matching is complete, I want to pull information from a different cell that is in the same row. For example.

    Sheet 1 - tblProductlocation - IxtRecord Code.jpgsheet 2 - tblWarehousebin - IxtRecord ID.jpgSheet 2 - tblwarehousebin Description name needed.jpg

    In the Product location table, I have a value in C2 which is (111) this is a record ID for a text value that I need to pull from the warehouse bin table in column D and place into D2 of the Product location table.

    In the Warehouse bin table, the Description (text value) I need corresponds with (111-record ID). In the same table AD column is where the Record ID exist. I hope I'm explaining this correctly.

    I have the Record ID's in the product location table already. Thought that would be useful to match between sheets then pull the Description (text value). But there could be a completely different way to do this.

    Hope the pictures help give the visual

    Please do not upload a picture of your file (especially pics so small that you can hardly even see what is in them)...rather, upload a sample of your workbook, showing what data you are working with, a few samples of your expected outcome is (manually entered is ok) and how you arrived at that. (exclude sensitive info). Pictures are pretty much impossible to edit, and no-one wants to re-type your data for you Also, not all members can upload picture files (Company firewalls and stuff)

    Re: Matching cells within two spreadsheets, return value from a different cell to another

    I am sorry about that. I'm going to put it this way hopefully you understand and can help. I have two spreadsheets I want to match row C of my first spreadsheet to row AD of my second spreadsheet. Say cell C1 matches cell AD76 now here is where I am having a hard time, once the two are match in return I want the value of cell D76 of the second spreadsheet.

    Basically I want to match row C of the first Spreadsheet and row AD of the second spreadsheet and in return I want the Value of Row D in the second spreadsheet.

    Okay here is the sample.

    In the Product location table, I have a value in C2 which is (111) this is a record ID for a text value that I need to pull from the warehouse bin table in column D and place into D2 of the Product location table.

    In the Warehouse bin table, the Description (text value) I need corresponds with (111-record ID). In the same table AD column is where the Record ID exist. I hope I'm explaining this correctly.

    I have the Record ID's in the product location table already. Thought that would be useful to match between sheets then pull the Description (text value). But there could be a completely different way to do this.
